Sean Murphy
Sean Murphy reads the late news on British television at 11 oclock
each evening.

This is a good time for a news programme because we can report

the early news from America and the late news from Europe. I still
arrive home before midnight because the journey from the Television
Centre to my home in north London only takes six minutes. My family
are all asleep when I get in, but I usually make a drink of hot milk and
read a book for about an hour.

I always get up to have breakfast with my three children before they

catch the school bus. Then I take the newspapers and go back to bed for a short time. Later on, I go for
a swim newsreaders spend too much time sitting down! I sometimes go running. Ive done the London
Marathon twice. Thats a race of over 40 kilometres. I finished each time, but I wasnt among the first!

I start work after lunch at two oclock, when I go to my office. The rest of the day is spent planning the
programme, but I always try to go home for an hour to see my children before they go to bed.
